REVIEWS & RATINGS

This dress definitely requires you to muster your self confidence, stand up straight, and apply double sided tape. If you slouch and have not applied adequate fabric tape, there will be a wardrobe malfunction (those straps slip right down your arms anytime you drop your shoulders and they are too thin to put fabric tape under). Additionally, if you move your shoulder forward at all space opens up in the front, again, revealing more than you intended and making the front of the dress less flattering.
Now that you've been adequately warned, the dress is lovely!!! I have worn it twice (one as a bridesmaid) and received many compliments. It is actually less risque in real life than in the pictures because you don't notice the cutouts as much from the front. The fabric feels good against your legs, and it moves well. I am a 32B, 25" waist. I bought the dress in a 0 and a 2 and ended up returning the 2. The slate grey color is as pictured. Long enough even if you are 6'+ in heals.

I ordered this dress for a formal event I am attending in a few weeks and was a bit scared reading other reviews saying that the sizing ran smaller, as I had ordered my correct size (US 8) when I received the dress it was a perfect fit and I am glad I didn't order a bigger size! The only thing I will need adjusted is the length (but that's a given) and the straps are fairly long so they will need to be shortened, but nothing to hard to fix.
The dress is gorgeous on and very flattering. I'm very excited to wear it and I think I will definitely be able to wear it for another occasion, so money well spent!

I agree with CindyL -- the fit was horrible! I ordered two sizes and the cut was all over the place -- the straps kept falling off, the waist was way too high (basically hit me in the rib cage about 2-3 inches above my waist), the cups were too big relative to the waist. Given the high price already not worth tailoring for a precise fit. I returned both.

The sizing is so not true to size. The top is all wrong and the waist is too tight and everyone I know that has tried this dress has said the same thing! The straps don't stay in place. You need to double stick it to your body in addition to shortening the straps. Whoever the designer is, should have had the common sense to make adjustable straps.

As reviewed, you need to size up, I'm usually size 4, I bought size 6, and it barely fits. The color emerald and the fabric are real nice. Overall I love the dress, I wasn't sure if I should buy it because of the neckline, I think it looks great on girls with smaller chests, but if you have normal size bust may be too revealing, and maybe look a little vulgar. It has a detail that looks a little bit odd, since the waist is too small, your ribs tend to stand out.

This dress really runs small, the band at the waist is snug, snug!! I am 118, 5'4" and I had to go with the 6. It is going to need altered in the straps and the hem, but the waist band is just so tight! Usually I wear a 0 in dresses!! It is really elegant, and I can't wait to wear it!
